Stamford-based Harman readies to weather economic storm
Stamford Advocate, CT
Retail prices range from about $50 for an iPod Shuffle to $250 and more for an iPod Classic, according to online merchants. Even a slumping economy can boost Harman sales, Giffin said. More consumers will purchase quality sound systems and speakers for their home music and TV systems, as prices for movies and sporting events get prohibitively expensive, he said. “People do have less money to spend,” Giffin said. “That gets them thinking, ‘How do we entertain at home?’ Rather than going out, they turn to our industry. They console themselves by buying something that improves their homes with an investment that lasts for years. Laura Hubbard, spokesman for the Washington, D.
Big Blue’s still big in Boca
MiamiHerald.com, FL
Q: What can Florida do to attract more high-tech jobs?A: Most large companies are looking for an education system that would attract employees. If we’re going to have a location of 900 people in this building, they’re going to want good schools for their children; they’re going to want universities for research and collaboration. Q: As emerging markets around the world have grown, they have started to develop their own high-tech firms, offering some sophisticated products and services. Is this a problem for IBM?A: In a lot of those cases, we’re involved with those companies. We are helping provide them with the infrastructure and the hardware and software they’re building those applications on. We’re fueling that innovation that’s taking place in those countries. We are a local company in all those countries.
Reinventing journalism education for the future
Arizona Republic, AZ
The promise of this unprecedented university-city partnership, conceived and championed by ASU President Michael Crow and Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon, is already being seen in our first months downtown. Student journalists are walking to cover major events at City Hall, county, state and federal agencies and major sporting and cultural venues in Phoenix. Our partnerships with media companies around the Valley – already strong – have grown as the distance between us in now often blocks instead of miles. And the vast professional opportunities for our students continue to grow. With our new home now in place, our future is truly limitless. Christopher Callahan is the founding dean of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

The X-Files: I Want to Believe
DVD Talk, OR
Also, I think her use of the term “bugger” to describe Father Joe’s molestation of his altar boys is a nod at the fact that Anderson has been living in England since the show ended. Chris Carter can be seen sitting in the hospital in a shot where Scully is walking towards the camera. Also, the actress who used to play Samantha, mulder’s sister, on the TV show is now grown up, and she walks past Mulder in the hallway of the FBI building. They make eye contact. Carter’s dog also cameos at the hospital. Be sure to e-mail me with the ones I missed!
The DVD
I watched a screener’s copy of this 2-disc DVD. While I didn’t have the artwork or the box that you’ll buy the DVD in, the content on the two discs was exactly what you’ll purchase, with the exception of a 20th Century Fox logo that kept popping up over my image so that I don’t try to sell this to you.
Nurturing Your Media
Library Journal, NY
The transitions from vinyl records to 8-tracks to audiocassettes to CDs and from film reel to ¾" U-Matic to VHS to DVD have impacted library services tremendously. The growing popularity of gaming and downloadable media, too, combined with the proliferation of new formats like the preloaded digital audiobook player Playaway® and high-definition (HD) and Blu-ray DVDs, ensures the challenges librarians face in managing media collections are far from over. These are the challenges of the here and now; other formats, such as downloadable media, pose an entirely different set of concerns still largely bearing discovery and unique enough to deserve future articles of their own.
Southern California battles devastating wildfires
WOKV, FL
Two of the Corona crewmembers required hospital treatment but were released. A separate fire in the Orange County city of Brea charred more than 2 square miles and destroyed the main building of a high school. The largest fire had grown to more than 12 square miles in the Sylmar area of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley since destroying 500 mobile homes, nine single-family homes and 11 commercial buildings early Saturday. Containment was put at 20 percent. Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Steve Ruda said there was almost total devastation in the Oakridge Mobile Home Park. "I can't even read the street names because the street signs are melting," Ruda said.
